Unleash Mayhem and Feel the World Hit Back with Far Cry 5's Resistance Meter

12/15/2017 07:00 AM

Taking down The Project at Eden's Gate isn't as easy as cutting a path straight through Far Cry 5 to the cult's leader, Joseph Seed. First, you'll need to destabilize the cult by defeating the Father’s Heralds, John, Jacob, and Faith. And the only way to lure them out is to make things so hot that they decide to put out the fire themselves. The more damage you do, the more the cult will respond in kind.

Each region has its own Resistance Meter, which tracks your actions throughout the world. As you battle cultists, recruit allies, and free the citizens of Hope County, the meter rises. As it does, the Project at Eden’s Gate will grow increasingly desperate, countering your efforts with tougher soldiers, bigger guns, and escalating chaos. The Resistance Meter never recedes, and when it's full, you'll finally be able to draw out that region's Herald for a dramatic showdown.

There's a lot of havoc to wreak if you're going to pry Hope County out of the cult's clutches, and you'll be able to start building your own resistance when Far Cry 5 launches on PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, Xbox One, and PC.
